OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by lsP3Orion on June 19, 2011 at 8:14pm: Nancy W - what technical help do you all need?

Comment by lsP3Orion on June 19, 2011 at 8:13pm: JFKBrooklet - I was having the same problems when I switched to Internet Explorer 9 - so I switched back to IE 8 and it solved the problem.

I know Leslie knows how much we all care about her - keep thinking good thoughts for her! Thanks Flyboymom for the updates - hope Terry and the boys are doing ok!

Comment by LHR on June 19, 2011 at 12:52pm: Sheila - Just added a recipe for Kale Salad which has become a favorite in our family and with many friends ever since my MIL introduced it to us a couple of years ago. Kale is super good for you. We actually grow it in our vegetable garden and it grows like a weed, so it's great to know what to do with it! Please let us know how and when we can order a cookbook and thanks for getting a bunch of us motivated to contribute!

Congratulations on all the recent promotions, graduations and important milestones reported here. DS is in Primary and just started flying this week. Sounds stressed at times about the mounds of material to know, but overall doing well so far. Thanks for all the info and experiences you all share here - lots of really helpful posts.

Comment by Rose on June 19, 2011 at 12:20pm: Sheila, I added a recipe for Oyster Casserole. Couldn't figure out how to get back to my name to add PNM so I put it in the recipe notes. ;-)

Comment by JFKBrooklet on June 19, 2011 at 8:46am: Hi everyone,

I have not commented for a while and I have been trying to send personal messages to a couple of members. When I click on "send" nothing happens and the message does not send. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thank you.

Ok Sheila...I added one to the cookbook. it took less than five minutes to enter.

I am a little burned out on recipes as the FRG for the ship my son is on is doing a cookbook also. Spent late Wednesday night entering 10 recipes for that one.

Keep us posted on the Sea to shining sea cookbook.

Comment by Paymaster on June 17, 2011 at 6:06pm: Sheila pleaded that I add the link for the cookbook for her as she says' "My kids always take care of these things". I felt sorry for her. So with that said here is the link to the cookbook.

To contribute to this cookbook go to:

http://www.cookbookpublishers.com/utypeit/login.cfm

Login in is: navymom1

Passwork: Navy

When you get login look on the left side of the page and you will see a button "Add Recipe" click on that and it will lead you thru.

Also, in the last 2 cookbooks when you put your name we also put PNM(proud navy mom) and your sailors name if your putting it in for grandmother,sister etc just put PNG, or PNS or you don't have to put that at all.

Comment by angies on June 16, 2011 at 10:59pm: Hi ladies! Probably a dumb question, but are all of your airmen pilots? My daughter is AWS and leaving Pcola July 8, going to Norfolk, and I don't really know which group is my next step :) I like to be ahead in the information game when I talk to her.

Chris- I loved your post from DD.

Comment by lsP3Orion on June 16, 2011 at 9:44pm: Wow Chris - your DD's words brought me to tears - she should be out there talking to young women today - what a wonderful young woman she is!!! I'm sure you couldn't be more proud of her!
